Ovviamente il link su cui invita a cliccare non punta al sito di PayPal ma all’indirizzo
http://218.5.5.248/www.paypal.com/webscr_cmd=_login-run5690/
L’indirizzo IP è assegnato al provider cinese Chinanet, al quale probabilmente è collegato il malintenzionato che cerca di carpire i dati degli account PayPal.
